Shure E Series Earphones at Discounted Prices

iLounger David has found that the Pro Audio SuperStore is offering Shure E Series earphones at heavy discounts with free shipping. These prices are substantially lower than what Shure is offering on its own website.

These discounts don’t really seem that huge. Pretty much every retailer out there is selling E2Cs for $79.

The minimum price anyone can advertise them for is $79. I hear that the minimum price is going to $99 soon. But for now, it sure beats Shure.

I got my E-2’s for $76.00 total. It’s a pretty sweet deal,and if you factor in tax and shipping,it’s a totally sweet deal. I can’t wait to get my hands on the E5’s one day when I get some money.

Are they any good?

I can only give you my recommendation.I did a lot of research on them,before I bought the E-2’s. They sounded good out of the box,but the key is to “burn” them in,figure out if the foam or silicone buds work for you,and play around with the seal.
I have been recommending them to my friends,and wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.
There’s a thread that has a review of them that you may want to check out-in fact,I used the postings in making my decision.

What is the difference between E2 and E2C?

e2 = e2c; the only difference is that the former retails for $79 and has documentation geared towards professionals, while the e2c costs $99 and has documentation geared towards consumers.

just get the e2. it’s the exact same hardware.

I just received my new shure E2 earphones today and to say they sounded like crap is to insult crap. Horrible, horrible, horrible sound. Absolutely no frequency range. By comparison, the ipod earphones sound like studio monitors. If E2s require burn-in to come to life, I will be amazed considering how awful they sound of the box. I can only assume they are defective. Anyone else had a similar experience?

output555: I would call Shure. It has to be defective or are you an Apple employee trying to move their new earphones???
